Review.
MR. LEGARE.
In person Mr. Legare is not tall; but he
is stout, his shoulders exhibiting si-gns of
strength; his head is remarkably large; his
mouth large, eloquent and singular; the
under lip projecting in such a way as to
give him a stern, but not unpleasing ap
pearance; it is rather the sternnesof tho't,
than the sulkiness of a haughty man.
He dresses well, and is very neat in his
Sersonal habiliment, a little lame withal.
e is so curious in his physical conforma
tion, that we are almost afraid to go on;
for though we feel nothing but respect for
him, yet we are afraid that our readers
would accuse us of caricaturing. Mr.Le
gare is striking in his appearance; there
is an air of originality about him that makes
you turn in the street to watch his retiring
figure Hisshori stature-his broad sshoul
ders-his high heeled and highly polished
boots--and then his hold, undaunted look,
mark him as a man in a thousand In de
bate, Mr. Legare is animated to the full
extent of the word ; he leans over his desk,
he moves his brows-his eyes wave about
-his figure expands-he rises to the top
most height of the imagination-and with
a rapid and hawk-like flight, he sweeps to I
objects of minor importance, but germain
to his topic. His voice is sui generis
strong, and almost harsh-full timed and
dramatic. Sometimes he flie-' over the
heads of his discourse, gatherug strength
and beauty as he goes, and anon he settles
upon a bold and commanding point, and
spins round and round in fanciful but vivi-,
fying buoyancy.
His order of mind is picturesque and
ge.ieral. He loves the nide and wierd
fields of human speculation. From the!
closet he has emerged upon a buse, me.
cbanical, and muscular age, wrap in his
own peculiar and individual ma.ie. tie
has been a moral speculator among books
led on from dream to dreain-fromn majes
ty to majesty-until he deems the worldI
one widespread and glorious stirface.where
in are reflected thestar ol poetry. of beau- I
ty, and grandeur. There is nothing rough
and unpleasant in his intellect; but there is
that which, like the mechanism of the
rocket, throws far over the heads of all, his
brilliant shafts of rhetoric and eloquence.
Mr. Legare-can never be a useful man
to the physical condition of the mass, in a
direct and immediate mnanner. He can
not dive at once into the wants of the inil
lioned multitude, but he is calculatedt to
shine in the higher walks of-literature, im
parting a beautiful tone to letters, and
creating the energies of thougni, the daring
flight of the ambitious mind. As yet, we
do not think Mr. Legare has givenj a full
sample of his power in thei Hall. His
speech at the extra session was lbrilliant and
biahwrought. and evidenced the thought
ful composer, more than it did the political
thinker. It seemed like. a review uttered
by a reviewer; but Mr. Legare is young
in politics. It is a hardened and ungrate
ful task for a man who has wielded the
editorial pen of one of the most spirited
and able reviews in t his country, to throw
aside that peaceful pen--to forget his fa-|
miliar ink--the sanctity of his ekiset--its
peace-its melodious silence-andi rush
forth into the battle burst of political uipin-|
ion-but yet, with his honesty and has a-,
bility, he will do good service to the cause
of the people. He can generalise in a
peculiarly forcible manner, and his opin
ions may become the texts of-other and
more piractical men.
We have alluded to his conniexion with
the Southern Review. For mtany years
hie labored in that great vineyard of letters,
with his intellect ever bright and vigilant. -
Frequetntly the publisher would enter his
study, with fear and anxiety depicted on
his countenance, and irnplore Mr. Legare
to furnish him matter for the review, de
claring that he had been disappointed in
some other contributor, and that the work
wvould not be forthcoming, if so many pa
ges were not- filled up. The publisher
walways left him satisfied that the desired
work would he accomplished, and Mr.
Legare e' er proved faithful to his need.
Glancing around his library, he would
take down any work-Plato, Aristotle,
Livy, Cicero-any thing-Greek, Latitn,
French. Spanish or Itatian ; and the
midnight hour woul find him pouring.1
forth one of those brilliant sketches tata
so adorned the pages of the Review and
modelled it into a standlard of literature.
But we must hasten to others who demand:
our attention. We have sketched Mfr.
Legare at length. becatuse he is, to otur
mind. pure and unstainel-a bigh sottled
scholar, if not able to lay claim 'to the title
of a cunning politician.
COLONEL PRESTON.
Noble Generosiy.-At a meeting of an
association of the Mlethodist Episcopatl
Church in the South, preparatory to cele
brating the Centennial Antniversary of
Mtethodism, and for the purpose .nf estah
lishinag a futd, a part of the interest of
which is to he applhiedl to the s.'pportt of
superannuated mriniste:-s, their widows :and
orphans, and the cause of edne-ntion, Col.
Win. C. Preston, Whtig mecmber of the
U. s. Senate from South Carolina, being
onc of the audience, rose ini the congrega
tion, and briefly stated that lhe did not be
long to the Miethodist chttrch, neither did
anyof his family, nor did lhe expect they
ever would. butt added that he contsidered
himself uder peculiar obligations to that
lbranch of the Christian Church, it being
mnainly through the instrtumtentatlity of his
grandmother. wvho was the sister of Pat
riek lI huary and .a memnber of the M.thoisis
*hure', aind had the ebairgec of his edu t.-n
eon, that lhe occ-upiedl the stattion Ite now
teld1 in thet United Stat's -anti then added:
'Mr. Secretary. put my natme dlown for

rmdone arnd as promptly paid.I
'rom the Chaleston Courier.
Colonel Prestton.-Thle Sou thern Chris,
of Colonel Preston's centenary subscription
to the Methodist cause, which is going the
rounds of the Northern papers, and which
we published in Tiesday's Courier, con- b
taius the following:
"I is untrue in every particular, except
that on that occasion Col. P. did present -
linself among the contributors. His sub
scriptiuon was nadte in silnrce. except only
his st-ting to the secretairy, or some gen
tleman by, the sum he wished set down
to his name; and which was not $1000.
We suppose the story has been fabricated
upon the report of the proceedings or the
meeting in this paper; and which, as far as
it concerned Col. Preston, was in the fol
lowing words; r
'-It was gratifying to our feelings to see
I he Hon. W. C. Preston, of the U. 'St ates
Senate, among the first who came to the
altar-place. in acknowledgement, (as we
were told.) ofhis indebredness to Menth
odism in the person of Mrs Russell, of
blessed memory, who was not more .listin
guished for being the sister of Patrick
Henry, than for her own extraordinary
piety and paris. Bishop Asbury used to
call her - the elect lady," (from St. John.)
and she it appears was Col. Prestons a
grind-mother, and with her hepassed his ,
childhood."
ST. AUGUsTINE, Aug. 1.5.
From the South.--Major Richard Ben
netn, Paymaster U. '. A. arrived here on
Wednesdav from Key Biscayne, iii the
steamboat Cincinnati. who informs us that
Lieutenant Colonel Harney had.reached
that place. after making his escap from
being massacred by the Indians at Carloos-i
hatchie, with the soldiery, and Mr Dallam
and citizens under his employ, amounting
to 17 or 18 in all. Col. Harney was lan
ded at ihat place, on his return from Tam
pa Bay, lut a few days previous to the at
tack. He h-id been huntinag wild hogn for e
provisioins, and rcturned late at night E
very much fatigued, and immediately re
tired to rest, and believes the Indians were j
not apprized of his return. c
About the tbreak of (lay he was aroused t
by the firing of guns, and, on going out of ,
his tens, found that the Indians had killed a a
number of men, and were pursuing others c
who ad Red to the water, firing at them ; d
he soon discovered that any attempt on his e
par, would be fruitless, and effected his I
escape with one man by the means of a d
canoe some distance from the camp. The
soldiers who took to the water made their d
escape by swimming to a small boat some i
distatice frotu the sbore. Col. H. met p
with them and returned to the coast that
night, and procured sonie bread left by the a
Indians, which enabled them to subsisi.- a
Having taet with a boat that conveyed' h
him to Key Biscayne. lie sent a part of his a
men to Tampa Bay to report to Gen, t
Taylor.
Major Bennett also informs us that Chit
to Tustenuggee, with his famil5, were at p
Key Biscayne..together with a number of o
Indians, who were detained by Colonel t
Harney , who sent Chitto Tustenuggee p
for Sam Joues to meet h'm-hai Sam t
Jones came to Fort Lauderdale, and that t
both Ciit to Tustenuggee and Sam Jones a
denied having aay participasio in that I
affair, or even acknowledge ofthe intention r
to make an attack, (saying they were the a
Spanish Indians.) and expressing their 2
n illingness, in'the presence of the com
tmanding officer at Fort Lauderdale, and 1;
Major Benuett,to go and fight them.-- [
Both Sam Jones and Chitto Tustenuggee (
declare that it is their wish to comply with (
the treaty, and Sam offers to give up his J
son as an evidence of his sincerity. Col. p
Harney arrived at Fort Lauderdale just as hi
Major Bennett left, whose intention wasp
to make some arrangemient with these E
chiefs to go agcaitnst the Indians who made il
the attack ; no arrangement, however, n
was made, previous to Major B's depar- 5
ture fronm Port Lauderdale, as he came r
direcily' on in the Cinci::nati, the btoat b
which brought Col. Harney to that place; y
the Colonel detained the steamboat san- u
tee at Fort Lauderdale to aid him in his o
operations.
Maj. Childs detained at Fort Pierce I
three Indians, one male and two females,
and sent them to St. Augustine in the Cin- a
cinnatti.g
Capt. Mayo, with the steamer Poinsett, ti
was at Km-y Biscayne, having received his ti
supply of men, with boats and provisions ; ti
he left that place on Monday, the l2th inst.
for the west~intending to establish a post at
Carloosahatchie, to prevent supplies be
ing taken to the Indians, and be intended 1
cruising round as far Tampa Bay. 4
From (he Tallahassce Star. 5
MOax Bxooo!-Below will he found a
letter from Captain Peyton, of the UJ. S.
Army, now stationedi at Tampa-it speaks r
for itself. That an officer so well kntown s
for his vigilance and experi'euce should*
suffer himself "surprised," brv a party of
Indians. from the fact of having "no de
fetices-no guards." is truly astonishing !
The truce, appears to have exasperated h
the Indians; they now tmake frequent at
tacks, and invariably eff'ect most serious
mischief. They probably considered it an
insutli to have terms of any sort, offered to
them by the United States.
